I didn't stop taking supplements before breast augmentation and the surgery is tomorrow?

ZIIISH
I just read in the booklet provided that I have to stop all supplements must be stopped 2 weeks before the surgery. I am an athlete and I take supplements on a regular basis. I have been taking vitamins and supplements such as : iron, biotin, zinc, vitamin C and calcium, magnesium, probiotics, vitamin B12, maca capsules and DIM capsules. I have contacted the nurse and she said only blood thinners might cause problems. Please let me know if this is very bad and if I should reschedule the surgery
